Hey Capt Noonie, the breeder was telling me about taping up the ears as well for them to stand upright. My question is, I know the dog can potentially have ear issues, if they remain floppy does that increase the risk for issues? |
If you decide to keep them floppy then just make sure to perform good ear care and pluck the inside hairs.
Sounds mean but this is what I do.........I use a good cleaning solution and bought a pair of hemostats. I pluck em out 'against the grain' with those and the ears are always clean and free of moisture.
Of course if you cannot do it, the groomer can
They do get used to it trust me. My poodle doesn't even blink anymore.
When she was about a yr old, she had a nasty ear infection. The vet told me to pluck those hairs and keep em clean. Never had a problem ever since.
Oh and lastly, thanks to your post I must now fulfill my urge to eat a TWIX CANDY BAR
